Then it occurred to that I have just created the new merchant account and
the email address is not confirmed yet. Once I confirmed it (see screenshot), the payment status changed to

payment_status: Completed
pending_reason (this field was not returned)

This frustrated me a lot since I remembered I solved the same damn issue few months ago. Damn frustrating.

Still remember the new PayPal developer portal mentioned few days ago? Basically is just old wine in new bottle, the interface was simplified but the experience of handling the sandbox still as frustrating and confusing.

When will Stripe or Paymill (clone of Stripe) will ever come to Southeast Asia? Why can't we (developers) have a simple, stable, and secure payment gateway?
